The production of high quality plastic pieceparts from low cost tooling is now a reality following a major breakthrough in polyurethane resin technology. Advanced resin formulations, exclusive to Martello, produce durable fully pigmented pieceparts with excellent surface definition and impressive mechanical properties.

Martello offer a low, one-off, tooling charge for batch production volumes of 50 up to 200 off.Martello’s unique Thin-Rim® processing system ensures good accuracy and detail in both thin and thick walled parts. Our Thin-Rim® resins are widely used for production caseworks for electronic and medical equipment. Our rigid resins mimic ABS in their mechanical properties and are available in high temperature, UV stable and V0 flame retardant grades. Our elastomeric resins are available in Shore hardness ratings from 10 to 95A and are ideal for keymats, overmoulds and seals. The majority of these materials can be pigmented and our process engineers are able to colour match to most RAL or Pantone colours or supplied samples.

Low cost moulds are produced from accurate machined patterns to provide a rapid, inexpensive solution for initial production series or on-going low volume production.
